My bad. I didn't know there was already another thread about this. Mods feel free to delete this one.

I did read the article though, and what I took from it was Bundy was allegedely using this blend, along with a string of current Angels players, so it seemed feasible that he had continued to use it last season.

But if he was using it before last year than him using it last year, if he still was, doesn't explain his improvement.  (I think an abbreviated season explains his improvement)

From what I gather a majority of ML pitchers use something that is currently against the rules to improve their grip.  Trevor Bauer used to rant about it before he hit his walk season then he joined in.

Rosin and pine tar?   Gaylord Perry is in the Hall of Fame.  2 time Cy Young winner.  5 time All Star.  His autobiography is  titled  "Me and the Spitter".

I do think they should either amend or enforce the rule and the random enforcement is annoying.  Remember when the Marlins GM made himself the manager and got Matusz suspended?

I actually heard about this from his Twitter and I thought he is ranting about it still/now.

 
It’s almost like it did exist. Wow. The more you know...how crazy

If only there was just a really quick way to increase spin rate. Like what if you could trade for a player knowing that you could bump his spin rate a couple hundred rpm overnight...imagine the steals you could get on the trade market! If only that existed...

There is only one solution. It's time the boys accept Dad's huge mistake and release the bum. He won't even try out for another team. Just walk away in shame.

But...  But...  he's been working on his game in the off-season, and he's looking forward to Spring Training and stuff.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
